Border guards detained two “divers” on the bank of the Tisa after warning shots

Last night, border guards of the Mukachevo detachment detained on the border with Romania two men, who most likely planned to smuggle goods at night by crossing the cold Tisa river in wetsuits.

Having noticed the offenders, the border patrol of the "Dilove" department tried to stop them, but they ignored the orders of the soldiers and tried to flee even after warning shots in the air. The soldiers detained the offenders 30 meters from the state border, and then took them to the border guard unit to establish the details of the offense.

The detainees were local residents aged 18 and 20 years old. Reports on administrative offenses under Article 185-10 and Part 1 of the Article 204-1 of the CAO were drawn up against them.  The case was sent to court.

In general, in the past year alone, border guards of the Mukachevo detachment detained in this area about 20 "divers" who tried to smuggle cigarettes across the Tisa river.
